The 2024 MVIS Iris Show was held at the Mesilla Valley Mall in Las Cruces.The Mesilla Valley Iris Society has an Annual AIS sponsored show each year in mid-late April usually at the Mesilla Valley Mall near the theater. Over 100 irises are brought in by members as well as the public to be judged by trained judges of the American Iris Society.
There are several reasons for having a show. First and foremost is that a show educates the public. There are often educational exhibits and displays of many types of irises. Shows also provide hybridisers an opportunity to get feedback on their latest hybridizing efforts from judges. This includes seedlings and established cultivars.
